Travel Case using Lemoncraft Silence Papers

-

WOW..... I have been very slack in blogging! I need to remind myself to also blog when I post to my FB page :-) 

Train Case - My Version :-) 

I have been playing with Nuvo mousse, glitter, crackle paste and liquid drops with this Train Case project. I also managed to use up all my Lemoncraft Silence papers that I had also used for a project I created previously.

This project was fun! I used the Eileen Hull Scoreboard XL - Train case, which was ideal for my file folders I created for the inside using the Uniquely Creative File Folder Die. I had started my file folders first and then remembered I had this train case in my collection and it was a perfect fit for storing my inspirational cards.

This is the Train Case I created and inside are the folder files, filled with inspirational quotes.

Firstly, I made the train case, and admittedly I did struggle a little with it, so I went to the faithful Youtube for help and found a really good tutorial. One thing I did note was the box  was decorated after it was put together, I found decorating it beforehand was easier for me, and in hindsight for future train case making, I will also ensure I mark and punch holes where the brads go beforehand too! That was a fun exercise adding the brads to the key and the back folds whilst it was together!

I cut the train case out with white cardstock, and then added the pieces of Lemoncraft Silence paper, this just makes the case a little stronger, before I scored the pieces. I used a combination of red tape and nuvo glue to put it together.



I used Nuvo mouse in peony pink through my flower stencil and added the flowers randomly on the box. Next I took my ranger crackle paste and added this through a writing script stencil and again randomly added to the box.

The butterflies were fussy cut from the paper and I added Nuvo glitter, fresh snowfall to the butterfly wings, and some ribbon around the front.


The inside file folders were cut out using the Uniquely Creative File folder die in white cardstock, and I added nuvo mouse in aquamarine through a border flower stencil to each one in the center of the file card.



I had 9 inspirational quotes which were fussy cut from the Lemoncraft Silence Paper, and I stuck these too little cards I had made from the paper that fit within the file folder. These were then randomly decorated with silver edge ribbon in blue and pink, butterflies, liquid drops in madagascar and seafoam, liquid pearls in robins egg and nuvo glitter in fresh snowfall.

The tabs were each labelled with a word from the quote used in the file with cute alphabet stickers I found in my stash.






How cute is this little Train Case? the Inspirational quotes can be pulled out anytime as a lovely reminder when you need to be uplifted!


Happy Crafting

Hello, welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations Blog, where I hope to be able to inspire you with my creations so you can come along with me on my journey! I am super excited to be part of  Scrap Of Your Life  Design Team, a very first for me, so I am a little nervous, however I am looking forward to the next 6 months and the exciting projects and inspiration I can bring to you. A little about me.....I have been crafting since I was around 18 years old (a long time ago) or thereabouts, and not always with paper crafts. I actually started cross-stitching, which then lead me into making teddy bears with embroidery on them. From here I moved into paper crafts, being introduced to Crafty Kids at the time and absolutely loved what they offered. I then met some wonderful, creative people along the way attending various craft workshops and enjoyed being with like minded people and creating to our hearts content. I have developed some wonderful friendships along the way, and created many ...

Tag Cards using Heidi Swapp Old School

These cute tag cards were made using the Studio Light Accordian Tag die, so easy to do as it cuts ready made into the accordion without having to score and stick the tag together. The inside dies also make it perfect to add extra layers which I have done for some of my tag cards. The entire tag cards are made using Heidi Swapp Old School collection, making waves and art district 12x12 paper, stickers and tags, as well a combination of Docrafts  gems and embellishments, paper doily, docrafts denim heart, reedcraft rubons, tiny clips and some ribbon. The base of the cards were cut out in white cardstock, then I used a combination of spearmint and purple palasides cardstock and the 12x12 heidi swapp paper to do the layers. I cut out all the sayings on the Heidi Swapp Urban Stories 12x12, and used a combination of these, with the stickers and tags throughout the cards.  These can now be easily added to other projects or given as a card to someone special to add in their own mini p...

Summer House Frame

Summer isn't too far away, so I decided to make a cute little Summer house using Crate Paper Wonder Wood Veneer Frame and created a Summer Vibe House.  What does Summer mean to you? I remember growing up I used to wait for the IceCream truck, and run out to get an icecream....so my Summer House has a quote Ï scream, you scream we all scream for icecream?, who remembers that as a child? I painted the frame black using Dylusions Paint. Once it was dry, I used a piece of A4 white cardstock and traced around the outside and inside of the frame. The inside was done so it makes it easier to work with, rather than have the frame sitting on top of the cardstock. Using a collection of different papers, Mintay Paradise, Pink Studio Joyful Day and Pretty Little Studios Tags Dream Big collection, I fussy cut images. I stuck these on with double sided tape. The happy tag and I scream you scream was sponged around the edges with archival ink in  chrome yellow. I used a colourblast sun ...
